LONDON (Alliance News) - Totally PLC saw its shares rise Thursday after its health unit was awarded a deal by the Waltham Forest Clinical Commissioning Group to undertake a clinical health coaching programme focused on the management of long-term conditions, a deal it hopes will lead to further contracts.
It didn't provide any financial details of the contract, but said Totally Health will work with 100 patients diagnosed with either Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or Diabetes over a six month period to help the patients to better manage their own conditions.
"This is the first contract, of potentially more, with a London-based CCG and builds on our successes in the Midlands with NHS Leicester City CCG, NHS Southern Derbyshire CCG and Darley Dale Medical Centre," Totally Chief Executive Wendy Lawrence said.
"We envisage that the successful delivery of this programme will lead to a longer term agreement with Waltham Forest CCG," she added.
Totally shares were up 29.6% at 0.745 pence Thursday morning, one of the biggest gains on AIM.
